Looks like a great score - very straight and clean from what I can see. Sounds like a good plan.

Howdy, from a '74 Dart Sport owner. I think the bigger question is what "parts" are you needing? Many mechanical parts are still readily available at most auto parts stores. Sheet metal, body parts, interior, and suspension components are frequently offered for sale here. Let's hear what you...

Honestly, if all Hang Tens were in white, and you don't go white, then you don't have a Hang Ten any longer, you would have a former Hang Ten that has been customized. In my opinion, there isn't anything wrong with that. If you like the look of the Hang Ten interior and want to restore it back...

Sure, here is a typical example...

That is one interesting vehicle, especially the front end. Unless it has been well camouflaged, I don't see much rust coming through to the outside, mostly just inside. By the way, when you get around to dealing with the sound system, I know someone who can provide you with a neat little...

Excellent!! PM headed your way.

Randy, I'm not worried about it - whenever you find the time. I know what you mean about outside influences keeping you from working on the car. My biggest hurdle right now is that Aaron is in college and doesn't come home much. We are waaaayyyy behind on finishing his Duster. It's beginning...

PM sent

My pleasure! I know what you mean about the deluge - we've been getting it solid here, too. At least it provided an opportunity for Aaron and me to crawl under his dash and determine where the elusive leaks are coming from. No big hurry. By the way, Randy, if you have seen another of my...

I meant to do this earlier, but you know how it goes with good intentions. Randy came down from Ft. Worth a few weeks ago to pick up some parts for this project. He is a very nice guy, and I'm glad to have been able to meet him and provide some of the pieces he needed. The cause is a good...

Nice work, guys. I went to that show a couple of years ago, and like you said, they have quite a mix of different cars there. At that time, it was pretty heavy into "tuners". Glad to see at least two of you proudly represented MOPAR, and tell your son "congrats" on the trophy. It's already...

Mike, Good looking project. It looks better than I had imagined - no time to start getting scared, now. You're going to find more help here than you can shake a stick at. It was great meeting you and your family. Thanks again for lunch today, Jerry

Yeah, Gary, with the way that car is turning out, you may need to use a term other than "beater". I'm glad you chose the mid-body stripes. Are those some of the ones you make yourself? I used some Cavalier seats in a Jeep one time. They were fairly comfortable, had a decent shape that...

With the black roof line coming down so close to the top of the quarter panel, I would give more separation and use the mid-body stripes. Jerry

What paint did you use for the flat black?

Gary, check for a PM. Jerry

I wondered about the same thing for several years. I've looked at all kinds of tires, and the only thing close to fitting was a temporary "donut" spare from a Jeep Cherokee. I think it was something like a T85-D15 - does that sound about right? The spare tire well is just at 6" deep and about...

So far, I've compared prices at Steele, The Paddock, Year One, Jim's, Hardens, and Jack's. Prices range from $79.95 (Jack's) to $149.95 (several other). Unless I hear something negative about Jack's Auto Parts service or products, it looks like I'll be ordering from them. Jerry

Sorry, meant this to be a separate thread.

The last time we did this a few years ago on my son Aaron's Dart Sport, we bought most of the seals and weatherstripping from Hardens Muscle Car World. The roof rail seals (at tops of door windows) are stowed away in the garage because they just simply would not work. Maybe it was a bad run that...

No thanks needed, that's why we're here. If you are really that close to finishing the project, maybe you should post your list here and let us look it over with you. It might reveal some things we can suggest. Have a good one, Jerry

Hey, don't be so hard on yourself. We all go brain dead, sometimes, when we get excited about the prospects of our projects finally nearing completion. Now's the time to sit back, take a relaxing deep breath, get out a pencil and pad, mentally walk through every step of the final phases of...

Thought I would show what we had to contend with on Aaron's new Mopar Performance aluminum valve covers. They come with one hole and one knock-out. He used the hole in one cover for the oil filler cap and the hole in the other cover for the breather. When we popped out the knock-out in one of...

Man, are you in luck!! You MUST contact these folks here: http://www.cowtownmopars.com/ There isn't a finer group of Mopar nuts (other than our illustrious membership here at FABO). And if you're into racing, they have some hardcore racers in the group. One of their guys just sent us a...

That may very well be true, but it doesn't necessarily mean he couldn't have a white one, if he really wants it. Go for it!!!

Oops, wrong post... never mind

The '73 Duster I am parting out has white interior like this: BLACK: headliner, dash pad, A-pillars, door tops, kick panels, sail panels, package tray, door handle cups, windlace, carpet WHITE: door panels, rear seat side panels, seat covers, arm rests I'm sure there are probably...

Very nice work! And I especially like the gallon-can paint rack for the fenders - very creative. Where in Texas did you move to? I am in central Texas, near Temple. And yes, it has been hot! Jerry

Yep, that's exactly what the #3 tube does. The #5 and #7 plugs are a pain to get to, but I think a swivel joint socket extension will be the ticket there. Aaron bought a cut-your-own set of ignition wires. The plug boots for those two cylinders were too tall, so we cut off the straight ones...

Thanks resto, but I believe we have it figured out now. Aaron bought an alternator bracket from Bouchillon and it worked out great. We also figured out the power steering pump brackets. Here's a clue for you newbies... Don't degrease and clean up your old parts until you know where they...
